The following is from a press release.

The Dedham Fire Department welcomes local families to a free Open House
on Saturday, October 13, 2012, from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

The Open House, sponsored by Papa Gino’s, is aimed at teaching families fire safety and prevention practices.

The Dedham Fire Department Open House will be held at Fire Headquarters, 436 Washington St., Dedham MA.

This Open House commemorates National Fire Safety Month. Participants will
receive safety tips such as “stop, drop and roll”, learn how to plan escape routes
and how to crawl safely through a smoke filled room. In addition, Papa Gino’s, the Dedham, MA based pizza chain, will provide free pizza and children’s fire safety coloring sheets at the Open House.

“This event allows us to reach out into the community and arm our local families
with fire safety tips and procedures,” Fire Chief Spillane said. “Our Open House
allows families to get together and better prepares them to react if a fire does start.”

The Open House is part of a broader community relations campaign sponsored
by Papa Gino’s to encourage families to learn about fire safety.

For the past 18 years, Papa Gino’s has sponsored Open Houses throughout New England, helping to educate more than 1 million people about fire prevention and safety.

During the month of October, Papa Gino’s will provide customers with fire prevention coloring sheets and certificates for kids. Fire Department Open Houses are being hosted throughout Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island in October.
